KeyPress in Control

[Peter Osawa]

Hi,

I'm making a form with a statusbar. I added a custom control to
statusbar (That control has only a textbox).

I set KeyPreview to True on the form. Now I can monitor all keys
pressed, but I want to know if it is possible to pass the parent form to
my contol and process keypresses inside my contol, without coding my
contols logic in the main form ?

TIA

You can use 'AddHandler' in combination with 'Me.FindForm()' inside the
usercontrol to add a handler to the form's 'KeyPress' event.
